The multi-generational saga of the German family Salz whose destiny seems tied to their relationship to their shadows. From a mother's shadow portrait gallery, to a young girl's imaginary friend to a sibling's war tragedy and the trauma that sequentially ruins multiple family generations.

This was a decent winter-time yarn, even though it sometimes felt a bit aimless. It could have used more positive stories as well, because not many of the Salz family members were likeable. Surprisingly I enjoyed Aveline's chapter the most, even though it was written in the second person.
